Astronomy Clubs

There are more than a dozen astronomy clubs right here in Wisconsin. Some clubs have their own observatories, some have telescopes that members can borrow like a library book, but all clubs feature friendly members who love to share their knowledge of the night sky.

Do I Need A Telescope?

You absolutely do NOT need to own a telescope to join an astronomy club. In fact, many clubs have loaner equipment specifically for members who don't have their own telescope.

Many clubs also have their own observatories which house larger instruments that are available for use by the membership. And members of astronomy clubs are very generous in sharing the views through their telescopes with other members and visitor to observing sessions.
